Broken Contact

About This Movie

Broken Contact is one of those quiet dramas that really lingers with you. The atmosphere in Amsterdam is almost palpable, contrasting sharply with the emotional turmoil Jason, the young protagonist, faces when he returns to London. The pacing is deliberate, allowing space for reflection, and it’s steeped in themes of loss and searching for connection. Though the director remains unknown, the performances are commendable, capturing the complexity of family dynamics. The film uses practical effects sparingly, focusing instead on the raw emotion of the characters. There’s a distinctive sense of isolation that resonates throughout, which makes it feel quite intimate. It's not flashy, but there's a depth that draws you in.
